MagMAX™ Prime Viral/Pathogen NA Isolation Kit

The MagMAX Prime Viral/Pathogen NA Isolation Kit is a magnetic-bead-based nucleic acid purification kit for the isolation and purification of viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal nucleic acid from human biological specimens.

Features of the MagMAX Prime Viral/Pathogen NA Isolation Kit include:

• Designed to isolate and purify microbial nucleic acid from a range of biological samples such as swabs in transport media, saliva, stool, urine, plasma, and serum
• Flexible workflow allowing various sample types to be batched on a single plate
• Streamlined automation-ready protocols designed for basic and advanced lysis and advanced stool workflows
• Fast automated KingFisher Flex, KingFisher Apex, KingFisher Apex Dx (RUO mode) scripts to allow for 96 samples to be processed in less than 60 minutes
• Flexible protocol accommodates sample volume inputs of 200–400 μL
• Elution volume of 200 μL for stool samples and 60 μL for all other sample types
• Available lysis buffers and bead-beating accessories to extract nucleic acids from challenging organisms and raw/stabilized stool sample type

The kit is intended for use by qualified and trained clinical laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in automated magnetic bead purification techniques.

Compatible with Thermo Fisher infectious disease research assays

Benefits of MagMAX magnetic bead–based purification

Magnetic beads offer many benefits compared to other technologies for isolating nucleic acid. Beads bind the nucleic acid more efficiently than glass-fiber filters, resulting in higher and more consistent yields. Additionally, because filters and vacuum manifolds are not used, there is no risk of filter clogging due to cellular particulates in samples. This clogging issue is of particular concern with protein-rich, large-volume samples such as whole blood or plasma that are commonly used for viral testing.
